Building Conversational AI Applications (Part 2 of 3)

Building Conversational AI Applications (Part 2 of 3)

This three-part workshop will teach you to quickly build and deploy a conversational AI pipeline including transcription, natural language processing (NLP), and speech.

You’ll explore automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) models and their customization in detail with the NVIDIA NeMo framework and learn how to deploy the models with Riva. Finally, you’ll explore Riva services' production-level deployment performance and scaling considerations with Helm charts and Kubernetes clusters.

This second session will explore the key components of the TTS pipeline and pipeline customizations. 

  • The third session (Oct 30) will work through performance, optimization, scaling, and production challenges.
